I have three of them, they are very nurturing. However if you want to keep them short-haired you'll have to get them groomed continously.<br><b>References : </b><br> Poodle.

She plays so wonderfully with them, has never bit, nipped, or hurt them. They pull her around, lay on her, etc. and she could care less. She LOVES when they are over. She is great with all other children too. They do shed a little, but with good care mine only sheds in the end of spring/beginning of summer. My boxer took a short time to house train. I used a kennel to help with the process. Dogs in generel are very neat and won't soil where they eat or sleep. So, for the first few weeks I let my pup stay in her kennel or be outside only. She did go a time or two in her kennel, but she quickly learned. It took her a very, very short time to become fully house trained. I am a firm believer in crate/kennel training and being SUPER consistent in house training. As for the size, I don't see boxers as the smallest or largest of the breeds. My boxer measures a little above my knees (I'm 5'7") and weighs 64.6 lbs. She isn't a huge beast and doesn't act like it, she is quite the cuddler!! AN OVERSIZED LAP DOG is what I see her as!!!! =)<br><b>References : </b><br> A boxer..I have a two year old female who adores my four year old nephew and baby neice.

Sorry. Short haired dogs all shed. Low-shedding dogs all continue to grow their coat - forever - until it is clipped. So you have two choices. 1. Shedding, either short, medium or long coat. 2. Low(non) Shedding - all have long hair but you can get them clipped short at the salon regularly. In regards to housetraining, I would suggest before you get another dog you google "how to housetrain". If ALL your little dogs have had a problem I would think maybe you might have missed something in how to do it. We have had 5 small dogs growing up with us, two adopted as adults, and have housetrained all of them. The pups were all reliable in the house by 4 months of age, and the adults took to it pretty quickly as well . . . so it can be done. Small dogs great with kids are hard to come by. Papillons are known for their calm demeanor, BUT are so tiny small children could easily hurt them just by accident. Any dog below 10 pounds I think is too fragile to bring into a home with really young kids. I find the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is great with kids, as is the Tibetan Spaniel. That is by personal experience with many in each of these breeds and they are big enough not to be easily hurt. I also hear that a well bred Boston Terrier can be good with kids, as well as the Bichon Frise or the Shih Tzu. Some of that depends on socialization with children, and proper supervision to make sure the small dogs don't get overwhelmed by the noise and boisterousness of the kids. If you are rather busy with raising kids, it is a good idea to go to rescue, because you can see ahead of time if the dog will get along, AND it would come housetrained.<br><b>References : </b><br> There is no such thing as a short haired low shedding dog.

Many of the better rescues house train and even obedience train their dogs before they let them be adopted. They also check their temperament so you would have a good idea that the dog was good around children. You may not necessarily be able to get a small puppy, but you won't have the headache of house training either. My Alaskan Malamute was six months old before he was completely house trained.<br><b>References : </b><br>www.petfinder.com If I were you, I would consider getting a dog from a good rescue.
